Adding Google Buzz in WordPress

The Last good thing Google did (before the Nexus One) was Google Wave. I wrote a tutorial on how you can show a Wave on your WordPress Blog. Here, like its all Buzz on the internet now. I’m writing a tutorial to let you know how you can add a Tweetmeme kinda Google Buzz button on your WordPress Posts.

The good thing is We don’t need to do any hard code for that.

To Add a “Buzz This” button like Tweetmeme.

• Install Buzz This WordPress Plugin.

• Go to Settings. Select your Appearance i.e Standard or Mini. & Paste the following code where you want to display the ‘Buzz this’ button.

<?php if(function_exists('buzz_button')) { buzz_button(); } ?>

• To show on Individual Post & Pages, you can paste it on your appropriate place in Single.php, Page.php and Index.php for the homepage respectively.

Alternate: WP Google Buzz Plugin

• Install and Go to settings.
• You have Options like Show/hide button, Show Before Content, After Content, Manual Code &  5 different Button styles.

To Add a Google Buzz Feed to your Sidebar

• Install Google BuzzER Plugin.
• Go to Google BuzzER Settings Page. Enter your Buzz Username, number of Posts you’d like to show & Save Settings.
• You use Buzzer Widget from Widgets Page to show Feeds in your Sidebar or use the following code to show the feeds anywhere you want.

<?php GoogleBuzzEr(); ?>
